2. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the
welder is setup correctly and you are prepared to be-
gin work before turning on the welder.
3. Unplug before performing maintenance.
Always unplug the welder from its electrical outlet
before performing any inspection, maintenance, or
cleaning procedures.
4. Never leave the welder unattended while en-
ergised. Turn power o before leaving the welder

5. Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, in-
sulating gloves. Do not touch the electrode or the

7. Avoid inhaling dust. Somedustcreatedbypower
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, cutting, welding
and other construction activities, contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other harm.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilat-
ed area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to l-
ter out microscopic particles.

physician(s) before using this machine.
